SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The weather mirrored the University of Evansville baseball team's fortunes on the diamond this soggy Saturday afternoon in Spartanburg, South Carolina, as the Purple Aces (1-1)suffered their first loss of the season, falling to Dayton (1-1), 6-3.
The UE bats were silenced for much of the game, as Flyers starting pitcher Jordan Cox and the Dayton bullpen combined to strike out a dozen Aces on the day. Fordham racked up 19 Evansville punchouts in Friday's opener.
"Our offense was anemic, especially with two strikes, non-Competitive," said University of Evansville Baseball Head Coach Wes Carroll.
